Protein shake Help please

Ever since I started pureed foods one weeks ago-it has been a b--- to try and get the protein in cause let me tell you-soo glad that is over with but my plan states I hould have a protein drink inbetween meals and carnation instant only has 5 grams of protein so I dont think I will be drinking 12 a day of those so I bought 2 huuuge containers (one of strawberry and one in vanilla) of the Whey protein supplements.

Ok my question:; does anyone know how to make the drinks NONE FROTHIE (FOAMIE). I usually put into blender -2 sccoops(sometimes 1), 10 oz skim milk, ice, and either 2 containers (or 1) fiber one yogurt or 1 container of suagr free pudding and depending on what kind of flavor I am making I will add in about 1 tsp of sugar free cherry syrup. Obviously this makes a lot so then I just can put into fridge ahead of time. The recipe says to blend for 10 minutes- still frothy and I blended for just a few minutes and it still comes out frothy. I mean about 85% (the whole top) is like air and when I let it sit it takes hours to go down to liquid form.
I have played with it where I use reg light yogurt , just pudding, no ice, etc..-- I think its the protein mix-- any ideas where I can just have a easy drink to swallow down like the carnation instant? Obviosily the Whey has 25 g of protein per scoop so you get a lot for it-I just hate taking the time (i mean like 24 hours) for it to go down to liquid form. Any suggestions besides buying the premade stuff- I do like the lite muscle milk in chos and the containers that they comes in is 8.5 oz so its perfect-- thanks very much

I have not been able to find a way for my protein shakes to not be frothy. The only thing that I can suggest is what I do...make them the night before and let them sit in the fridge overnight to defroth (is that even a word? LOL!) By morning the foam is gone and they are easier to enjoy!
